Summer is one of the most active seasons for property transactions in Dubai, as revealed by a new report from UAE-based real estate platform Bayut.
According to figures from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), analyzed by Bayut’s proprietary systems, summer 2024 (June–September) recorded the highest volume of property sales and rental transactions for the year. There were 64,596 property sales, reflecting a 38.1 percent increase over winter and an 18.1 percent rise compared to spring. Rental activity was equally robust, with a total of 372,337 rental transactions—surpassing all other seasons. These findings are visualized and accessible through Dubai Transactions on Bayut, a real-time analytics tool that enables users to explore transactional trends across communities and time periods.
This marks a continuation of a three-year upward trend. Sales during summer 2024 rose by 37.7 percent compared to 2023, which itself had seen a 38.5 percent increase over 2022, demonstrating sustained year-on-year summer growth in both sales and rentals.
“Summer represents a busy and vibrant time for Dubai’s property sector,” said Haider Khan, CEO of Bayut. “Bayut’s data paints a very clear picture: buyer and renter interest remains strong year-round, and our tools like Dubai Transactions and TruEstimate™ are enabling smarter, faster decisions. The market is more active, more informed, and more digitally enabled than ever before.”
